'Carlo Varese, more commonly known as Cleaver is minor character in The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. He is one of the members of the criminal underworld in Novigrad known as the Big Four. Unlike the other members, he is more dwarf than human.
Appearance[]
The cleaver was powerfully built. He possessed a muscular body that translated into great physical strength. Unlike the conspicuous dwarfs of Novigrad, he walked the streets proudly, bare-chested, showing off his many tattoos. A characteristic element of his appearance was a large mohawk placed on lard. He also wore a lot of jewelry.
Personality[]
Cleaver was a ruthless and brutal gangster who did not hesitate to commit even the most terrible crimes. He has personally killed his opponents. He and his subordinates practiced dismembering and throwing to the fish in Pontar those who stood in their way. At the same time, he was a very cordial man, even kind and absolutely faithful to himself. Cleaver's protection was not just a way of collecting protection money, but a real defense. He treated those who were on his side as family.
Cleaver can be said to have been bathed in hot water. He relied mainly on physical strength and his plans were usually limited to engaging in armed skirmishes.
Biography[]
Before he started his criminal business, Carlo was a butcher. However, when he discovered that he had no qualms about killing, he decided to leave his former profession and start a career in the underworld. He managed to join forces with the despised and persecuted non-humans, mostly dwarves, and together they created a powerful and influential organization that gained a considerable foothold in Novigrad.
Cleaver's activity was a string of successes. He managed to enrich himself and confirm his dominant position in the city thanks to his participation in the Syndicate or the Big Four (creating it long side Sigismund Dijkstra, Francis Bedlam, Cyprian Wiley). He also managed to take over the areas controlled by the Fishermen's gang. However, he fell into conflict with the leader of the Cutups family, Cyprian Wiley, in which he gained the support of the other members of the Big Four, Francis Bedlam and Sigi Reuven. Together, they planned to remove Willey.
The Cutups, however, went into action, organizing an attack on the Big Four during their meeting. Cleaver, Bedlam and Reuven, supported by the witcher Geralt of Rivia, repelled the attack, killing the assassins. Cleaver became furious and declared that he would start a final war with Willey, which he intended to do. He also offered Geralt help in fighting the Cutups.
